“Preserving wilderness, wildlife, and cultural heritage across the Amboseli-Tsavo ecosystem by creating sustainable economic benefits for the Maasai people” The world increasingly relies on many traditional communities like the Maasai to protect the ecological treasures that exist within the land that they own. But the incredible wilderness and wildlife of Africa’s grasslands and the famous culture of the Maasai people both face daunting threats to their long-term survival. The fate of both rests with the Maasai themselves as they work to figure out how to benefit from their incredible natural resources while preserving them.

Encounters Asia: Tracking the Ghost

Combine a height of 3400 metres and a - 25 degrees Celsius weather forecast, and you have the perfect conditions to track the elusive Snow Leopard. It was 6 years ago that we began our first Snow Leopard program. The first year we had only one sighting of the much anticipated and very elusive Grey Ghost. With each passing year, sightings got closer and increased in quality, and by the third year our trekkers had 8 sightings of 5 different Snow Leopards. From then on, pictures went viral and the elusive cat was no longer a myth but a reality for many, and a new tourism industry for Ladakh had formed.
